Blowdown Mute - AAF International - #1

Text version of the page

DESIGNED FOR EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE The innovative design of the AAF Blowdown Mute provides: n More insertion loss per foot of silencer due to maximizing the exposed perforated tube surface area, backed by high absorption coefficient packing material. n Maximum use of the absorptive characteristic of the tube module by conversion of the entering noise into higher frequencies. n Rugged construction, resulting in years of long lasting service. n Guaranteed performance based upon confidence of design, backed by in-service testing, resulting in published insertion loss data for every model and size. n More compact design, reducing the need for costly support structures. Blowdown Mutes EFFECTIVE SILENCING OF ALL GAS, AIR, AND STEAM VENTS AAF's Blowdown Mute is the answer to the problem of reducing excessive noise generated by high pressure, high velocity gas vents, and blowoffs. The AAF Blowdown Mute is an assembly of time-proven, servicetested components, each specifically designed to perform its task and provide optimum overall silencer performance.

Use the A-111 when a self-standing side inlet is required. Both styles are available in various lengths, which correspond to dash numbers on the charts. The longest standard size is the –6 which provides the most noise reduction. The shortest standard size is the –2 which provides the least insertion loss when less noise reduction is needed. WORLD CLASS QUALITY During the entire production process, our operations are governed by our ISO 9001 certified system.
